Beauty Regime: Green Tea

Green tea is a multi-purpose drink which is the best alternative for coffee. It offers a generous dose of powerful beauty agents. Green is the calorie-free and antioxidant-rich drink which helps you in protecting your skin from the sun and giving you a wrinkle-free, smooth complexion.

It is the only tea that contains a appropriate amount of the antioxidant epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). (Both green and black tea have about eight times the polyphenols found in fruits and vegetables, but green tea, unlike black and oolong tea, is not fermented, so the active ingredients remain unaltered.) This nutrient fights againsy celldamaging free radicals in the body and detoxifies them. The health benefits of EGCG also includes improved cardiovascular health, enhanced weight loss, and protection from the damage caused by ultraviolet light. Increased consumption of green tea has been shown to reduce the risk of skin, breast, lung, colon, esophageal, and bladder cancers.

The topical treatment of green tea has just as effective in treating acne as the benzoyl peroxide. Green tea may also help keep you slim.
